An Early Look: Hellboy 2

Nicely sandwiched between Iron Man and The Dark Knight for the summer of 2008 is the return of Mike Mignola's signature horror hero to the silver screen in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.

The expectations will be higher for HB2, considering all the critical acclaim director Guillermo del Toro received, particularly from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, for last year's award-winning dark fantasy, Pan's Labyrinth.

You can whet your appetite for all things Hellboy with this wonderful Web site chock full of cool production art. By the way, there's talk of a B.R.P.D. spinoff too, according to Dark Horizons.

Speaking of the B.P.R.D., enjoy this video morsel from the set of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army with Silver Surfer avatar Doug Jones.
